NOTE 1 – ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS
ABV Consulting, Inc. (“we,” “us,” “our,” “ABVN” or the “Company”) was incorporated in the state of Nevada on October 15, 2013, for the purpose of providing merchandising and consulting services to craft beer brewers and distributors. On August 22, 2016, the Company’s founder and prior manager sold all of his shares in the Company, constituting approximately 90.4% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company, and retired from his positions as executive officer and sole director of the Company (the “Change of Control Event”).
Subsequent to the Change of Control Event, our current management pursued a strategic acquisition strategy focused on acquisition target companies with operations located primarily in Southeast Asia, the Pacific Islands, the People’s Republic of China (including Hong Kong and Macau) (the “PRC”), Taiwan and other jurisdictions within Asia, and with operations complimentary to the PRC’s broad “One Belt, One Road” (“OBOR”) regional investment and cooperation initiative. In connection with this strategy, we moved our corporate headquarters from Pennsylvania to Hong Kong.
On June 19, 2017, APSL acquired 100% issued and outstanding equity of ABV Consulting Limited (“ABV HK”) incorporated in Hong Kong, China and ABV HK became our wholly owned subsidiary.
On December 19, 2017, the Company entered into a Rescission Agreement. The Rescission Agreement rescinded the share exchange agreement dated February 24, 2017 (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), between the equity interest owners of APSL.
NOTE 2– GOING CONCERN UNCERTAINTIES
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the discharge of liabilities in the normal course of business for the foreseeable future.
As of December 31, 2018, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $406,014 and net loss of $60,659 and net cash used in operations of $75,774 for the year ended December 31, 2018. Losses have principally occurred as a result of the substantial resources required for professional fees and general and administrative expenses associated with our operations. The continuation of the Company as a going concern through December 31, 2019 is dependent upon the continued financial support from its stockholders or external financing. Management believes the existing stockholders will provide the additional cash to meet with the Company’s obligations as they become due. However, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in securing sufficient funds to sustain the operations.
These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. These financial statements do not include any adjustments to reflect the possible future effect on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the outcome of these uncertainties. Management believes that the actions presently being taken to obtain additional funding and implement its strategic plan provides the opportunity for the Company to continue as a going concern.
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
These accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of ABVN and its subsidiary. All significant inter-company balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of Estimates
In preparing these financial statements, in conformity with GAAP requires management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities in the balance sheet and revenues and expenses during the years reported. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgement. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Foreign Currency Translation
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the statement of operations.
The reporting currency of the Company is the United States Dollar (“USD”). The Company’s subsidiary in Hong Kong maintain their books and records in their local currency, the Hong Kong Dollar (“HKD”), which is the functional currency as being the primary currency of the economic environment in which these entities operate.
In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiary whose functional currency is not the USD are translated into USD, in accordance with ASC 830, “Translation of Financial Statements”, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiaries are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income within the statement of stockholders’ equity.
Translation of amounts from HKD into US$ has been made at the following exchange rates for the respective year:

Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost and represent cash on hand, demand deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions and all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less as of the purchase date of such investments. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had $4,534 and $299 in cash and cash equivalents, respectively.
Accounts receivable
Substantially all of the Company’s accounts receivable balance is related to trade receivables. Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is the Company’s best estimate of the amount of probable credit losses in its existing accounts receivable. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of its customers to make required payments for services. Accounts with known financial issues are first reviewed and specific estimates are recorded. The remaining accounts receivable balances are then grouped in categories by the number of days the balance is past due, and the estimated loss is calculated as a percentage of the total category based upon past history. Account balances are charged against the allowance when it is probable that the receivable will not be recovered. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had no valuation allowance for doubtful accounts for the Company’s accounts receivable. During the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company did not record any bad debt expense.
Fair value of financial instruments
The carrying value of the Company’s financial instruments (excluding short-term bank borrowing and note payable): cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, amount due to a related party, other payables and accrued liabilities approximate at their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.
The Company also follows the guidance of the ASC Topic 820-10, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820-10”), with respect to financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value. ASC 820-10 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
·
|
Level 1 : Inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets;
|
·
|
Level 2 : Inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques (e.g. Black-Scholes Option-Pricing model) for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Where applicable, these models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using market-based observable inputs; and
|
·
|
Level 3 : Inputs are generally unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values are therefore determined using model-based techniques, including option pricing models and discounted cash flow models.
|
Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time based on relevant market information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and, therefore, cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
Commitments and contingencies
The Company follows subtopic 450-20 of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification to report accounting for contingencies. Certain conditions may exist as of the date the financial statements are issued, which may result in a loss to the Company, but which will only be resolved when one or more future events occur or fail to occur. The Company assesses such contingent liabilities, and such assessment inherently involves an exercise of judgment. In assessing loss contingencies related to legal proceedings that are pending against the Company or un-asserted claims that may result in such proceedings, the Company evaluates the perceived merits of any legal proceedings or un-asserted claims as well as the perceived merits of the amount of relief sought or expected to be sought therein.
If the assessment of a contingency indicates that it is probable that a material loss has been incurred and the amount of the liability can be estimated, then the estimated liability would be accrued in the Company’s financial statements. If the assessment indicates that a potentially material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, and an estimate of the range of possible losses, if determinable and material, would be disclosed.
Loss contingencies considered remote are generally not disclosed unless they involve guarantees, in which case the guarantees would be disclosed. Management does not believe, based upon information available at this time, that these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, there is no assurance that such matters will not materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial position, and results of operations or cash flows.
Revenue recognition
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014 - 09 ,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606 ),
using the full retrospective transition method. The Company's adoption of ASU 2014 - 09 did not have a material impact on the amount and timing of revenue recognized in its consolidated financial statements.
Under ASU 2014 - 09 , the Company recognizes revenue when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.
The Company derives its revenues from the rendering of business advisory services, such as training, implementation, consulting, and other customer-specific services. The Company applies the following five steps in order to determine the appropriate amount of revenue to be recognized as it fulfills its obligations under each of its agreements:
|
·
|
identify the contract with a customer;
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
identify the performance obligations in the contract;
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
determine the transaction price;
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
allocate the transaction price to performance obligations in the contract; and
|
|
|
|
|
·
|
recognize revenue as the performance obligation is satisfied.
|
Income taxes
The Company complies with the accounting and reporting requirements of ASC Topic 740, “
Income Taxes
,” which requires an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are computed for differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in future taxable or deductible amounts, based on enacted tax laws and rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.
ASC Topic 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company’s management determined that the Hong Kong is the Company’s major tax jurisdiction. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits, if any, as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of December 31, 2018. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position.
The Company may be subject to potential examination by foreign taxing authorities in the area of income taxes. These potential examinations may include questioning the timing and amount of deductions, the nexus of income among various tax jurisdictions and compliance with foreign tax laws.
The Company conducts major businesses in Hong Kong and is subject to tax in this jurisdiction. As a result of its business activities, the Company will file tax returns that are subject to examination by the foreign tax authority.
Net loss per share
The Company calculates net loss per share in accordance with ASC Topic 260, “Earnings per Share.” Basic income per share is computed by dividing the net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is computed similar to basic income per share except that the denominator is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential common stock equivalents had been issued and if the additional common shares were dilutive. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company has no dilutive securities.
Related Parties
Parties, which can be a corporation or individual, are considered to be related if the Company has the ability, directly or indirectly, to control the other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operational decisions. Companies are also considered to be related if they are subject to common control or common significant influence.
Retirement plan costs
Contributions to retirement plans (which are defined contribution plans) are charged to general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operation as the related employee service is provided.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” The standard provides guidance on how certain cash receipts and payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. For public entities, ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods, and requires a retrospective approach. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2018 and the adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash.” The standard requires that a statement of cash flows explains the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents (collectively, “restricted cash”). Therefore, restricted cash should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. The new guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted this standard retrospectively effective January 1, 2018 and the adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (“ASC 842”). The guidance requires lessees to recognize almost all leases on their balance sheet as a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. For income statement purposes, the FASB retained a dual model, requiring leases to be classified as either operating or finance. Lessor accounting is similar to the current model, but updated to align with certain changes to the lessee model and the new revenue recognition standard. Existing sale-leaseback guidance, including guidance for real estate, is replaced with a new model applicable to both lessees and lessors. ASC 842 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is evaluating the adoption of ASC 842, but has not determined the effects it may have on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Management has considered all recent accounting pronouncements issued. The Company’s management believes that these recent pronouncements will not have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.
NOTE 4 – DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
On December 19, 2017, the Company entered into a Rescission Agreement. The Rescission Agreement rescinded the share exchange agreement dated February 24, 2017 (the “Share Exchange Agreement”), between the equity interest owners of APSL.
During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded $32,873 as a gain on the disposal of a subsidiary. The Company has no continuing involvement in the operations of APSL. The disposal of APSL qualified as a discontinued operation of the Company and accordingly, the Company has presented the results of APSL operations from its Statements of Operations to present this business in discontinued operations.
The following table shows the results of operations of APSL for the year ended December 31, 2017, which are included in the loss from discontinued operations:
